January 15, 2023 – The Book of Jonah (Week 2)

January 8, 2023 – The Book of Jonah (Week 1)
On Sunday, January 8, we began our 3-week sermon series on the Old Testament Book of Jonah. Only 48 verses, this book asks some challenging ethical questions about who we understand God to be and who we are as God’s people. We
looked at the first chapter, in which Jonah tries to run away from God — something I’m guessing most of us have done (or tried to do) on occasion.
January 1, 2023 – The Nativity Story
On Sunday, January 1, the First Sunday of Christmas, we had a chance to sing more Christmas songs and hear the Christmas story told in readings and video.
Christmas Eve / Christmas Day – 2022
On Christmas Day, we celebrated Christmas with a focus on the unexpected way God sent God’s Son to earth. And on the night before, we had two Christmas Eve services to celebrate the night Jesus was born. If you didn’t see the services, or want to see any of them again, check out this post.
2022 Christmas Worship Services

On Christmas Day, we will stream a pre-recorded informal service at 9:30 am. Join us from wherever you are! There will NOT be in-person worship on Christmas Day!
Our Last Advent Meal

We’ll share how loving all can make this a special Christmas for all of us. If you can bring a food item to share, great. But come and join us regardless — we always have more than enough.

The Advent Conspiracy
